Come help Bellevue Native Plant Society as we rid the rain garden of poison hemlock, foxtail, hops, and rogue tree seedlings. We also do a sweep for litter to prevent trash from ending up in the waterways.

The Twin Creek Trailhead is at the intersection of three major biking trails in the Metro: The Bellevue Loop, The West Papio Trail, and the Keystone Trail. This rain garden is a great opportunity to showcase native plants to the various bikers that pass by yearly as well as making this spot a scenic hub of the community.

Dress for wading through brush with closed toe shoes. Hemlock is toxic and the hops are spiky, so we like to wear good thick garden gloves, long sleeves, and long pants. Please bring your own hand shovel or spade to use and your own pruners or loppers. If you have yard waste bags to use or trash bags to collect litter and you bring these, it is MUCH appreciated.

This is not the event for young children unless they are aware of the dangers and supervised at all times. We've done this work safely for years, it's just good to be aware of what we are working with.

Come help us make sure this kind of work decreases over the years as the many grasses and wildflowers we plant take hold and convert this space into a much more lively, native, and wildlife-supporting garden. See you soon!
